CITATION MUSTANG OPERATING MANUAL

CHAPTER 1
AIRCRAFT GENERAL

INTRODUCTION
This manual provides a description of the major airframe and engine systems in the Cessna
Citation Mustang (Figure 1-1). This material does not supersede, nor is it meant to substitute for, any of the manufacturers maintenance or flight manuals. The material presented has been prepared from current design data. Chapter 1 covers the structural makeup
of the airplane and gives an overview of the systems.

GENERAL
The Citation Mustang is certified in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14CFR23) Part 23, including
day, night, visual flight rules (VFR), instrument flight rules (IFR), single pilot, and flight
into known icing conditions. Takeoff and landing performance and other special condition
certification requirements are similar to
14CFR Part 25. The Mustang meets 14CFR

510OM-00

Part 36 noise standards, and meets 14CFR

Part 34 fuel venting and exhaust emission
standards. It combines systems simplicity with
ease of access to reduce maintenance requirements. Low takeoff and landing speeds permit
operation at small airports. Medium bypass turbofan engines contribute to overall operating
efficiency and performance.

The Citation Mustang is equipped with a

Garmin G-1000 integrated avionics system.
This three-panel display system integrates flight
instruments, flight guidance, navigation, and
communication systems. Also integrated into
the avionics system are the master warning and
master caution systems and hazard avoidance
systems. The engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) is a two-column display on
the left side of the center multifunction display
(MFD). The crew alerting system (CAS) messages are displayed on the lower left of the
MFD to alert the crew of system emergencies,
abnormal situations, or changes in system operation. EICAS and CAS will be referred to
often in the following chapters.

STRUCTURES
The Citation Mustang (Figure 1-1) is an allmetal, pressurized, low-wing monoplane with
a swept T-tail. The interior has provisions for
up to four passengers and two crewmembers.
It has one cabin entry door and one emergency
exit. The aircraft has baggage compartments
in the nose and tail cone. Two pylon-mounted
Pratt & Whitney PW615F turbofan engines
are on the rear fuselage.
Figure 1-3 shows braking taxi turning distance, and Figure 1-4 is a diagram of engine
hazard areas.
The aircraft has five doors:
Entrance door
Emergency exit (escape hatch)
Left nose baggage compartment door
Right nose baggage compartment door
Aft (tail cone) compartment door
Each door (except the emergency exit) has a
monitoring system, which provides a specific
CAS message for that door if it is not properly
closed. However, if the monitoring system for
the cabin or nose baggage doors fail to pass a
test on the ground, stops operating, or does not
indicate normal operating condition, the amber
CHECK DOORS message appears.

ENTRANCE DOOR
The cabin entrance door is on the forward left
side of the fuselage (Figure 1-5). The entrance
door opens outboard and forward. It is secured in the closed position with eight locking pins attached to a handle. The door can be
opened from inside or outside of the airplane.
The exterior handle can be secured with a key.
Ensure that the key is removed from the entrance door prior to flight to prevent possible
ingestion of the key into an engine.
An adjustable stop prevents the door from
opening too far. Once the door is fully open,
a hook locks the door into position. To unlatch
the hook and let the door close, a release button inside the cabin (inside left of door opening) must be pushed (Figure 1-5). This lets the
door move freely.

CAUTION
The locking pins will contact and
damage the painted surface of the
fuselage if an attempt is made to shut
the door with the handle in the closed
(up) position.
The seal system operates passively as the cabin
is pressurized. The seal engages and disengages when the door opens and closes.
A hinged panel at the main cabin door threshold is used as a water barrier during ditching
(Figure 1-6). It hinges up to prevent water
from entering the aircraft, and enables the use
of the entrance door as an exit during ditching.

WARNING
Water barrier must be raised and
latched into position prior to ditching.

CITATION MUSTANG OPERATING MANUAL

Figure 1-6. Hinged Panel

NOTE
The water barrier is installed at the
main cabin door threshold. Crew
members should be familiar with its
location and operation; and passengers should be briefed prior to flights
over water.
A monitoring system checks for safe condition
of the door (closed, pins secure, door latched).
There are eight view ports on the inside panel
of the entry door to verify that the eight locking pins are in the closed position. With the
door closed and handle latched, the pilot
should be able to see the white and green indicators in each port. (Figure 1-7). Three proximity switches verify that the door is closed,
latched, and locked by sensing the position of
targets on the closing mechanism of the door
and signals the condition to the CAS:
The proximity switch on the doorway
surround structure senses the door after
it is closed.
After the door is latched, a proximity
switch senses the door pin position.
As the handle catch is engaged, a proximity switch on the inner handle assembly senses a flag.
If one of the proximity switches does not sense
its target, the CABIN DOOR message appears
on the CAS.

Figure 1-7. Door Pin Indicator

EMERGENCY EXIT
A plug-type emergency exit (escape hatch) is
on the aft right side of the cabin, above the
wing. It opens inboard. The emergency exit
door can be opened from outside or inside
the airplane (Figure 1-8).
The D-shaped inner door handle is recessed behind a magnetic cover. The flush-mounted
outer handle is located at the top of the door.
The outer handle is not directly connected to
the inner handle. The outer handle has a green
indicator to show when the door is latched.
Because no other provisions are provided for
securing the escape hatch when the airplane
is unattended, a safety pin with a REMOVE
BEFORE FLIGHT streamer is placed on the
inside of the hatch. The pilot must ensure this
pin is removed prior to flight. The emergency
exit hatch is not connected to the door warning circuit.

CABIN
The cabin extends from the forward pressure
bulkhead to the aft pressure bulkhead and

510OM-00

CITATION MUSTANG OPERATING MANUAL

measures approximately 14 feet in length, 4.7

feet in width, and 4.5 feet in height. Figure 19 shows the interior arrangements. Refer to
Figure 1-10 for interior dimensions.
The standard interior arrangement consists of
two aft-facing and two forward-facing passenger seats. There is a toilet on the right side of
the fuselage, abeam the cabin entry door. The
toilet is not equipped with a safety belt and cannot be occupied during taxi, takeoff, or landing.
The cabin area has dropout, constant-flow
oxygen masks for emergency use.
The cabin overhead panels contain individual
air vent outlets and seat lighting for passenger comfort.
EXTERIOR

FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
The airplane is equipped with dual controls, including control yokes, brakes, and rudder pedals at each crew seat. There are two adjustable
seats with seat belts and shoulder harnesses.

TAIL CONE COMPARTMENT

The tail cone compartment is an unpressurized
area and contains major components of the environmental, electrical distribution, flight controls, and engine fire extinguishing systems.
Access is through the tail cone baggage door on
the left side of the fuselage below the engine.

EMPENNAGE
The empennage consists of a vertical stabilizer
with T-tail mounted horizontal stabilizers
(Figure 1-14). The leading edges of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are deiced by inflatable deice boots.

The wing assembly attaches to the bottom of the

fuselage and is constructed of aluminum. Each
wing is also a fuel tank. Electromechanical
speedbrakes and flaps, and hydraulically actuated main landing gear are attached to each
wing (Figure 1-12).
An aileron fence is attached to the inboard side
of each aileron.
The wing leading edges are deiced by inflatable deice boots, which are inflated by regulated engine bleed-air. Vortex generators and
stall strips are attached to the leading edge
boots (Figure 1-13).

NOSE SECTION
The nose section is an unpressurized storage
area. Various hydraulics components, pneumatic bottles, oxygen bottle, fresh-air duct,
and radar antenna are located in this compartment (Figure 1-15). The nose storage
compartment holds up to 20-cubic feet (320pounds) of baggage. It has two swing-up doors
(left and right). Each door has a mechanical
lock. Each door has a key-operated cam lock,
forward pin latch, and two independent paddle latches. The pin latch shows orange when
not latched. Each latch has a switch and indicates the latch position with the amber
NOSE DOOR L-R CAS message.

SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Mustang is an all-DC aircraft. The 28VDC electrical power is supplied by two
starter-generators and one 24-volt, 28 amphour sealed lead acid battery. An optional battery is a 24-volt, 28 amp-hour NiCad battery.
An external power receptacle is below the
right engine pylon.

Figure 1-15. Nose Storage Compartment

A manual light switch is in the compartment

(Figure 1-16). If the manual light switch is left
on, a microswitch at the left and right storage
door assembly extinguishes the storage compartment light when the doors are closed.
An over-center gas spring on each door holds
the door in the full open position until the
door is closed manually.
Ensure that the keys are removed from both
nose compartment doors prior to flight to prevent possible ingestion of a key into an engine.

1-10

For convenience of pilot and passengers, two

DC power outlets are provided in the cabin,
powered by the DC system through a converter. One DC outlet is in the cabinet behind
the copilot seat and the other is in the aft center console.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system has two distinct, identical
halves. Each wing tank stores and supplies the
fuel to its respective engine. Fuel transfer
capability is provided. Fuel is heated through
an oil-to-fuel heat exchanger (PRIST is not
required).

ENGINES
Two pylon-mounted Pratt & Whitney PW615F
turbofan engines are on the rear fuselage, and

510OM-00

CITATION MUSTANG OPERATING MANUAL

each produces approximately 1,460 pounds

of thrust (sea level ISA + 10C).
To improve automation and efficiency, the engines are controlled by dual-channel full authority digital engine controls (FADECs).
Engines are started with electrical starter-generators, which are powered by the onboard
battery or a ground power unit (GPU).
Ice-protection, fire-detection, and fire-extinguishing systems are provided for each engine. The engine pylons have ram-air inlets and
exhausts to provide cooling airflow through the
cabin air heat exchangers.

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Anti-ice protection is provided to the engine inlets, and deice protection is provided to the
wings, and empennage by engine bleed air.
Engine bleed air directly heats the engine inlets and generator cooling inlets. The wings,
vertical tail, and horizontal stabilizers are deiced by boots inflated by engine bleed air regulated to 20 psig (service air). The windshields
are electrically anti-iced and defogged. Electric
heat also anti-ices the pitot-static systems, stallwarning vane, and engine inlet-mounted T2
sensors. Ice detection lights on the glareshield
help the pilot detect icing on the windshield.
A light on the outside left fuselage helps the
pilot detect icing on the wings.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A single electrically driven hydraulic pump
supplies pressure for operation of the landing
gear and wheel brakes through a closed center
system. The main gear are equipped with hydraulically operated antiskid-controlled wheel
brakes. Pneumatic backup is available for emergency landing gear extension and braking.

aileron, elevator, and rudder tabs. The elevator trim is both mechanically and electrically
actuated. Aileron and rudder trim are electrically activated. The flaps are electrically actuated and are on the trailing edges of the
wing. Electrically powered speedbrakes are on
the upper and lower wing surfaces. Nosewheel
steering is mechanically controlled by the rudder pedals through steering bungees.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM
The aircraft has a two-zone automatic temperature control system that is split into cabin and
cockpit. An independent vapor cycle air-conditioning system provides cooling to the cabin
and cockpit.
Conditioned engine bleed air is used for cabin
pressurization and temperature control. Cabin
pressurization is controlled by an autoscheduling pressurization system. The crew need
only to adjust destination elevation any time
prior to or during flight and the controller automatically controls cabin pressure for operation at the highest practical differential
pressure with minimum rates and changes.
A 22-cubic-foot oxygen bottle (40-cubic-foot
optional) supplies oxygen to the quick-donning
masks for the crew and automatic dropout
masks for each passenger. If cabin altitude
becomes excessive, passenger oxygen masks
deploy automatically (by electrical release)
and can be deployed manually (by oxygen
pressure) upon pilot command.

AVIONICS

FLIGHT CONTROLS

The Mustang uses a Garmin G1000 three-display glass cockpit to present most indications for flight instrumentation, navigation,
avionics, and aircraft systems. The displays include two 10.4-inch primary flight displays
(for pilot and copilot) and a 15-inch multifunction display.

Primary flight control is accomplished through

conventional cable-operated surfaces. An
aileron-rudder interconnect provides improved
lateral stability. Trimming is provided by

The standard factory-installed avionics package includes the fully integrated flight instruments, flight guidance, communications,
